Provides AI assistants with direct access to the Linux terminal to execute shell commands, manage system processes, perform surgical file editing, and launch over 900 applications.
Allows for the management of persistent Node.js REPL sessions, enabling interactive JavaScript code execution through the terminal.
Facilitates data analysis and manipulation within persistent terminal-based Python processes using the pandas library.
Enables AI assistants to start and interact with persistent Python REPL sessions for interactive coding and execution within the terminal environment.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@TermPipe MCPfind all python files modified today and show their sizes"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
TermPipe MCP
System automation tools for AI assistants. Saves you money with surgical file editing.
Install
macOS / Linux:
Windows:
Done. Everything auto-configures. No setup required.
What You Get
Saves Money: Surgical editing tools modify single lines instead of rewriting entire files. 90% fewer tokens = lower API costs.
AI Debugging: When Claude gets stuck, it calls smarter models (iFlow/Gemini) to get unstuck. No more retry loops burning your context.
System Access: Terminal commands, file operations, process management, smart search, app launching - all the tools AI actually needs.
Zero Config: One command installs and configures everything. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, iFlow CLI, Gemini CLI.
Example: Why Surgical Editing Matters
Traditional approach (wastes tokens):
Read entire 1000-line file → 1000 tokens
Modify in context → more tokens
Write entire file back → 1000 tokens
Total: 2000+ tokens to change one line
TermPipe approach (saves money):
Change one line → 10 tokens
200x token reduction
This adds up fast. Real savings on real usage.
Troubleshooting
Server won't start? → lsof -i :8421
Tools not appearing? → Restart your MCP client
Still broken? → File an issue
